Recombinant human ROCK2 (5-554) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. ROCK2 is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase localized in the nucleus that regulates cytokinesis, smooth muscle contraction, the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, and the activation of the c-fos serum response element. ROCK2 is an immediate downstream target of the small GTPase RhoA and may play a pivotal role in cardiovascular diseases such as vasospastic angina, ischemic stroke and heart failure. Inhibition of ROCKs by statins or other selective inhibitors leads to the upregulation and activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and reduction of vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. ROCK2, 10ug (Human, recombinant; amino acids 5-554). MW: ~88kDa. Substrate: S6K Substrate (KRRRLASLR); derived from human 40S ribosomal protein S6 (amino acids 230-238). Reaction Buffer, DTT.
